lovelife22 0 #1 June 20, 2006 My cypres has reached its 12 year--I have a friend that's interested in buying it from me for testing purposes, any thoughts on what or IF I should sell it or just give it away? Thoughts??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjosparky 4 #2 June 20, 2006 Until just recently I worked in the parachute testing field and we often used out of date cypress for planned delayed deployment. We would buy them for $80 which is the trade in value I think. As far as selling it or giving it, that is your call.My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

docjohn 0 #5 June 20, 2006 I sold my expired Cypress on eBay. Only got $45 for it but that's better than nothin. Didn't do the trade in thing since I decided to buy a Vigil. If you sell it on eBay, be sure to emphasize the fact that the unit is expired and cannot be used for skydiving. .

bch7773 0 #10 June 21, 2006 I'd take something for it. It is worth $80 bucks if you get another one. One of the guys at my DZ used his for testing too... it was funny as hell. MB 3528, RB 1182 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
